bia, sitting in general term to-day,
sustained the demurrer Of the Gov
ernmcnt and awarded judgment of
custer in tie case of tie United
States against John n. Oliver, justice
Of peace, who resisted tn: right Of the
President 10 remove aim, and claimed
that he cop!d be displaced from his
Office only hy tile District Supreme
Court.
The Court, in an opinion delivered
by Chief Justice Bingham. holds that
the power to remove justices of the
peace resided in the President alone
down to the organic Act of the Court
passed in March 1863, and that this
Act did not take away the Presidents
power of removal, but merely con
ferred on the Court the concurrent
power Of removal with the President.

THE c. L. s. n. RAILROAD.
Bonds to be issued to Complete and
Equip the Line.
Columbia Register, l2M.

The annual meeting of the stock
holders Of the Columbia, Newberry
and Laurens Railroad was held last
night at the Commercial Bank, large
representation Of stockholders being
present.
The meeting did not organize for
business until quite late. The result
of a vote taken for directors, ETC., was
as follows: President, II. G. Nose
ley; Directors-M. y. Carlilse, NJ.
Chapin, R. S. Desportes, Charles
Ellis. Jr., G. J. Iredell, G.. Leaphart,
T. T. Moore, Geo. S. Mower, J. A.
Sigh and W. 3. Lowrance.
BY vote the directors were author
lied to raise money to build and
equip the road by issuing bonds Sc,
cured by mortgage Of the road for
$4,000 mile. The Safe Deposit
and Trust Company of Baltimore, as
trustee. will be given a trust deed of
the road, and the bonds thus secured
placed with that company. This
mortgage Of trust deed will cover
any extension or branches of the
road hereafter added, and only a
sufficient amount Of bonds to supply
the necessary means for the compile
tion and equipment Of the road will
be issued. The distance from Co.
lumbia to Newberry is forty-two and
half miles by the proposed route,
which would indicate an issue of
$4,000 bonds at the $4,000 per
mile fixed if the full amount possible
under this arrangement was consid-
cred necessary.
The meeting Of the stockholders
adjourned a little after l o'clock this
morning, and was followed by

THE CROPS THE STATE.
Weekly Eeport~ ofthc Weather ser
vice.

COLUMBIA, July 9.-The South Caro-
lima wcatherService furnishes the follow
ing data concerning the effect of the
weather Oh the various crops during the
week ending to-day:
RAINFALL.
The rainfall for the present week has
been slightly above the average in the
State although in some cf the upper and
middle counties it has been rather un-
evenly distributed. Its effect on the
crops, especially corn, has been very
favorablc. CopiouS showers have oc-
Cured in many Counties Oh five days OF
the week. The rain OF the 9th in Fair
icld has caused the small streams TO
overflow, thereby doing slight damage
to corn, but this was offset by the benc-
fit derived from the rain.
TEMPERATURE.
The temperature OF the week has been
generally about the average, two or
three counties in the upper and middle
divisions reporting slightly below the
average. ITs general effect on the crops,
especially cotton, has been favorable.
In counties where it was reported below
the average, cotton has not suffered.
SUNSHINE.
Sunshine las been somewhat less than
the average. Corn. has been benefited
thereby, and cotton, while not benefited,
has sustained no injury, the evenings
and nights being warm.
CONDITION OF THE CROPS.
Corn has been we'll cultivated and is
in fine condition, though needing more
rain in some sections, notably in Marl-
boro', Chesterfield and Hampton Coun-
ties. Cotton has probably received
sufficient rain, but no injury is reported,
and the prospect is good. The clinch
bugs are reported is doing some dam
age to the corn in Chesterfield, but with
the recent rains it is thought the damage
will not be serious. They are also re-
ported in Barnwell.

THE LANDSLIDE IN SWITZERLAND
ANOTHER CASUALTY OF THE SAME
KIND.
BERNE, July 1.-The disaster at Zug
recalls in many respects phenomena
Of South American earthquakes. For
several days crcvicts had been observed
in the new quay at Zug, which cost s'0,-
tO0. At 1.39 o'clock, on Tuesday after
noon, the Lake il front CT tie stone
work began to bubble.
The quay then cracked, and eighty
feet OF it fell into the lake. 4 dozen
persons who rushed from an adjoining
cafe were precipitated into the water and
drowned. After short interval another
slip dragged several houses into the
water. The landing stage followed, and
Il steamer which had just arrived was
hurled hundred yards forward.
At t o'clock TWO boats which were
going to the rescue OF persons were en-
quilted, only one boatman rising again
10 the surface. At the same moment
boatman's hat, in which were three
children, fell into the water. Furniture
ard cattle were now hurriedly removed
from the threatened quarters. AT I
O'Clock the land slips began again and
several carts which were removing
property sank into the lake.
Fifteen houses and ten huts disap:
peared within few minutes, including
the Hotel Zurich, the roof of which is
still visible above the surface OF the
lake. A cafe in which We're ten cuSto-
mers was next engulfed and $50 meters,
of the ncighboring street then slowly
vanished, the people jumping from the
windows OF the houses to escape being
drowned.
A party Of officers returning from Lu-
cerne assisted the fire brigade in res
cuing the imperlled persons but the
danger increasing, troops were sum-
moned from Baar. A third landslide
occurred at II o'clock Z. II. carrying
five houses into tie lake and damaging
many others. The municipal treasure

NEW YORK, July l0.-The Cafholic
Ne1cS to-day has the following:
10 the Very Reverend Clergy and
faithful Laity Of tie Archdiocese of
New York: Be it known that on the
fourth day OF May, 1887, the sacred con-
gregatiou of the propaganda admonishcd
the Rev. DR.. Edward McGlynn, late rec
tor Of St. Stephens church in this city,
that lie has already rendered himself
liable to ecclesiastical censure by dis
obeying the positive command Of the
sovereign Pontitf, given On January II,
wishing, however, to deal leniently with
him, the sacred congregation refrained
from lnflcting censure, and Offering him
further opportunity to be heard in his
own behalf gave him final and peremp-
tory TO present himself in Rome within
forty days from the receipt OF the letter
containing such order under palm of
eNcommunicatioA to be incurred ipso
tucto ct nomtnatt.n. This letter was duly
delivered 20 the Rev. Dr.. McGlyEn, and
as he allowed the days of grace to pass
unheeded, it became orr sad duty to
notify him that lie had incurred by his
own act this penalty OF eXcommunication
bv name, whereby he is cut Oil from the
communion OF the Church, from its sac
ramentS participation in its prayers,
and should he perSevere in his contu-
macy, deprived OF the right after death
of Christian burial. 1t has become also
our duty to declare to the clergy and
laity of our charge which we do by these
letters, that the Rev. DR.. Edward Nc
Glynn is communicated nominatim,
with all the penalties attacked to this
censure by the canons of the church.
